The APCO Foundation Race Day, also known as "Race for a Reason," is a highlight on the Geelong Racing Club calendar, combining the thrill of horse racing with a strong commitment to community support. Scheduled for Friday, May 1, 2026, this event offers attendees an exciting day of racing while raising funds for the APCO Foundation, a charity dedicated to assisting individuals, families, and projects within APCO communities across Victoria.
In previous years, the event has attracted over 270 attendees, featuring gourmet lunches, silent auctions, and appearances by notable personalities such as Nicky Buckley and Ian Cover. The funds raised have significantly benefited local charities, including a $10,000 donation to the Geelong Food Relief Centre. The 2025 race day promises to continue this tradition, offering guests a memorable experience while making a positive impact in the community.
